Move a Vault

Move a vault to a new location.

Note: The default path for the database files for a Vault is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.AUTODESKVAULT\MSSQL\DATA.

MS SQL requires that the user under whom the SQL service is running must have Full Control for the location to where the database is being moved.

  1. Launch the Autodesk Data Management Server console.

  2. Select a vault from the Vaults folder.

  3. Select Actions ► Move Database.

  4. On the Move Database Files dialog, browse to the new location for Data file (mdf) and Log file (LDF).

    It is not necessary that both the mdf and LDF of a given vault be in the same location.

    Note: MS SQL requires that the location to where the database is being moved must be on the same computer where the database is currently located.

  5. Click OK on the browse dialog.

  6. Click OK on Move Database Files dialog.

  7. Click Yes on the prompt to proceed with the Move operation.
